Whimsy and Wonder Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
Whimsy and Wonder Photography is Em Whalan, who photographs weddings and elopements around Port Stephens and the Hunter. She keeps her calendar deliberately small, taking a limited number of weddings so each one gets a full share of attention, and she prices four collections openly rather than making couples ask.
Style & Approach
In her own words the work has a documentary sensibility with an editorial finish. She describes herself as there not only to record the day but to anticipate it, to give direction where it is wanted and quiet observation where it is not. Every image is hand-edited rather than run through an automated preset, and she shoots on two cameras so there is a backup as the day happens.
Ideal For
Couples marrying around Port Stephens who want a considered, unhurried record and would rather choose a length than a bundle. The two hour collection suits an elopement or a small ceremony, while the ten hour collection covers a full day from the morning through to the evening and adds an engagement session.
The Need-to-Knows
Four collections are published with prices: two hours at $1,200 with 100 images, four hours at $1,700 with 200 or more, a full day of up to eight hours at $2,800 with 400 or more, and up to ten hours at $3,200 with 500 or more. A non-refundable retainer holds the date and the balance falls due 30 days beforehand. Travel is quoted separately. She is on 0412 433 371.
Standout Feature
Sneak peek images arrive within 72 hours, which is unusually quick, and every collection includes them rather than treating them as an extra.
